Prunus persica ‘Elberta’ Peach

'Elberta' Peach

One of the most popular peach trees for the home orchard, ‘Elberta’ Peach is famous for sweet, succulent fruit with old fashioned flavor. ‘Elberta’ peaches are a homestead favorite not often seen seen commercially because they are best eaten fresh and do not ship or store well for long periods. Yellow fleshed with a small pit, these freestones are fast growing and self-fertile, although greater productivity will be achieved if they are planted in multiples.
